Mandy says, "I'm tired all the time" No Energy

MotherMargaret, I feel tired all the time. I have no energy what so ever. Physically I can do a bit of vacuuming then have to rest for an hour or so. My Father died of esophagus cancer, my nan breast. My Mother also had breast cancer when I was 14.

Mandy (age 41)

Mandy, you are sharing things that could be part of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I suspect this is caused from 2-butoxyethanol poisoning. The kind of cancer your dad had is also one of the cancers this chemical family is said to cause

It has been harming our nation & many in the world for most of 75 years if not longer. I have wondered about breast cancer, but it isn't specifically mentioned in the research that I have access to. It does cause harm to multiple body systems, so in its case, I question whether it goes from one area to another, as is generally thought; it is a tumor causing chemical (soft tissue sarcomas, too)

Point is we have multiple generations affected by this chemical, and there can be birth defects (though not recognized) ...

With the fatigue you have, I suspect you have had your own direct exposure. It is in cleaning products, in paint ... things like that. People think they have the flu. When you do get your blood drawn, ask a special favor of the doctor. Ask the doctor to order the lab tech to LOOK at the red blood cells & see what the immune system is doing. This chemical is said to cause hemolytic anemia. I suspect it is autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Sandy said she had 'spikes' on her RBCs Size? Shape? Membranes? (Clue to finding the fatigue you have)

Ask if the red blood cells are small-sized and if there is blood in urine. I think the reason doctors say they do not know what the fatigue is in CFS, is that the red blood cell counts look OK (in normal range, even if low end of normal) but they are small-sized (immature) & you can't store and utilize the iron or oxygen.

Do you remember a time when you had diarrhea, flu? That's what too much exposure looks like, or a cough that won't quit.

For help, good nutrition and glyconutrient food supplements, in my opinion would be the best help.

Get Rubin's book, Patient, Heal Thyself. He talks about both.

Now as a way of introduction ... who am I? Someone who had a family member who was exposed to 2-butoxyethanol when he worked on the Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup, 1989. .... I'm someone like this:

"I Recognize the pattern" of a chemical's harm. It is the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome pattern. I'm not an expert in any normal fashion ... but I do recognize the pattern of 2-butoxyethanol harm.

I saw another example of this kind of thing on History Channel 1-29-06. "Failure is not an Option" covering the USA Space program: Apollo 12 was struck by lightning during launch, which messed up the telemetry.

... the mission appeared to be doomed, even the loss of the three astronauts was looming as a possibility

When John Aaron remembered seeing the same data pattern at NASA controls a year before. He called out "Flight, try SCE to Aux" Flip the switch. All along the way, NASA Controllers look puzzled, but passed the command along, "SCE to Aux" Turns out the astronaut knew where the switch was, over behind his right shoulder, he flipped it, and data reappeared; the problem had been fixed.

I feel sort of like a John Aaron in another field.

I recognize the pattern of harm of 2-butoxyethanol

The health crisis looming before us, is becoming epidemic ... 'What is wrong? How to fix it?"

(not "OCX to Aux'?) That's what I thought I heard on the TV program, but was corrected by someone who seemed to know what he was talking about
